Chapter VII: Reopening of Old Cases

"That's right... The relationship is not going well, and the money side is in trouble again. Another point, according to Xu Ziqing's friends, Xu Ziqing did express his intention to commit suicide. Chen Xi said while looking at Wei Zhongwen uneasily. The most important thing is that her family also concluded that Xu Ziqing committed suicide rather than homicide. ”

"Her family?" Wei Zhongwen asked in confusion.

"Yes, Ziqing also has a stepmother." Tang Yuran, who was on the side, opened her mouth and added, she naturally understood what Wei Zhongwen's confusion was. When Ziqing was young, her mother died, and her father remarried, but her stepmother was not good to her, and just two years ago, Ziqing's father also died. In addition, Ziqing has no relatives by her side. ”

In other words, the family in Chen Xi's mouth refers to Xu Ziqing's stepmother.

"You mean, Xu Ziqing's stepmother, concluded that she committed suicide, so the police were not allowed to conduct an autopsy?" Speaking of which, Wei Zhongwen probably understood something.

There are not uncommon cases in which families do not agree to autopsies and characterize cases as suicides or accidents.

In other words, the clues that can prove that Xu Ziqing died of his murder have been burned as early as half a year ago.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongwen couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

"Chen Xi, do you know what the biggest suspicion is in the whole case?" Wei Zhongwen looked straight at Chen Xi and asked.

"This... I think it should be Xu Ziqing's boyfriend. Chen Xi paused, and then said, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. Even lovers who have broken up can't help but contact it occasionally, but like Qin Kai, it's like evaporating from the world, which is not normal. ”

"You're right, but that's just one of them."

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Chen Xi asked hesitantly, she couldn't figure out what clues she had missed.

"The reason why you don't see the suspicion is because from the beginning, you had a preconceived idea of this case as a suicide case. That's right, judging from the situation Xu Ziqing was in at the time, she did have a good reason to choose to commit suicide. But even in a difficult situation, not everyone will choose to commit suicide. Wei Zhongwen said.

Listening to the other party's words, Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that Wei Zhongwen would never say such emotional words in the past.

"Ahem..."Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Wei Zhongwen coughed twice in embarrassment, as if he wanted to change the topic, and then said: "As I just mentioned, the biggest suspicion in this case is not Xu Ziqing's boyfriend, but the location of the knife marks on Xu Ziqing's wrist. ”

"Where are the knife marks?" Chen Xi asked inexplicably. At that time, Xu Ziqing committed suicide by cutting her wrists, and finally died of excessive blood loss. We have tested, whether it is from the angle, position or depth of the knife marks, it is enough to cause Xu Ziqing to lose too much blood. Although three days had passed, the amount of blood lost was basically in line with what we expected, considering the environment and temperature at the time. ”

"Actually, from the beginning, you were wrong." Wei Zhongwen's expression looked extremely serious, and he continued. "Actually, Xu Ziqing's dominant hand is left-handed, that is, she is a left-hander."

"What? How is this possible... I clearly remember..."Chen Xi looked incredulous, and began to desperately recall the scene of the murder at that time as he spoke.

"That's right, as you can see, in Xu Ziqing's rental house, all the furnishings are mainly on the 'right side', which means that to outsiders, her dominant hand is the right hand." Wei Zhongwen said.

The only people who know about this are Xu Ziqing's deceased parents and a few of her friends.

"Captain, how did you know about such a secret thing?" Chen Xi was surprised, could it be that Xu Ziqing is Wei Zhongwen's old friend?

In the face of Chen Xi's question, Wei Zhongwen didn't say anything, but Tang Yuran, who had been silent, continued: "Actually, Ziqing is my good friend, and I asked Mr. Wei to help me investigate this case. ”

"You mean, you're in a fiduciary relationship?" Chen Xi's face was incredulous, she suddenly understood something, and couldn't help but secretly curse herself in her heart for thinking too much.

"Yes, the entrustment relationship, or else?" Wei Zhongwen looked like he took it for granted, he naturally didn't understand what Chen Xi was thinking.

But Tang Yuran on the side was aware of something.

Wei Zhongwen didn't pay too much attention to Chen Xi's unnaturalness, but continued: "Therefore, it is indeed a bit hasty to condemn this case as suicide. Wei Zhongwen's voice was calm, and he didn't mean to blame anyone.

Hearing this, Chen Xi also understood, if things are really as Wei Zhongwen said, I'm afraid this case will not be so simple. Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, misjudging a case is the biggest disrespect to the deceased.

"I'm sorry Captain, I didn't expect this case to have another secret." Chen Xi said, his words full of guilt. "Miss Tang, I'm sorry, because of my mistake to find out the truth of the matter, I promise you that I will definitely do my best to find the truth of the matter and find the real culprit who hurt Xu Ziqing."

Hearing what the other party said, Tang Yuran suddenly didn't know how to answer, and she also knew very well in her heart that Chen Xi could not be blamed for this matter. "It's okay, it's not your fault, as long as you can find the real culprit in the end, I can be regarded as giving Ziqing an explanation."

"Okay, now that everything is clear, let's move on to the next case." Wei Zhongwen opened his mouth to speak, as if this case was just a part of the whole incident.

"Captain, are you referring to the bombing in the morning?"

"That's fine, but other than that, I think you should know about another case."

"What do you mean, do you mean, there are three related cases?" Hearing Wei Zhongwen's words, Chen Xi couldn't help frowning, of course she understood the meaning of this sentence, three closely related cases meant a high difficulty detection coefficient.

"Yes, whether it is Xu Ziqing's case or Zhang Jingya's case that just happened in the morning, the reason why we were able to get clues came from one thing, diaries." Wei Zhongwen said, pointing to the several books that were being placed in front of the three of them at this time.

It's just that I don't know when it started, the number of notebooks on the table has increased from two to three.

"This one, a week ago, Tang Yuran asked me to investigate Xu Ziqing's case, this one, I just received it this morning, the suicide time written on it is exactly the same, and the last one belongs to another girl. The third girl, Lin Xiao, used to be a shopping guide at a counter, and two years ago, she died by suicide. ”

"Suicide again?" Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't hold back. "Did she really die by suicide?"

"It's not clear." Wei Zhongwen said, shaking his head. "This girl committed suicide by jumping into the sea, because the environment was complicated at that time, and the police did not find eyewitnesses, but judging from the autopsy at that time, it should have been suicide."

"Moreover, we also saw in this girl's diary that she wanted to commit suicide, and the day after writing the diary, she committed suicide by jumping into the sea." Tang Yuran on the side spoke.

"In other words, you're biased towards believing this journal, aren't you?" Chen Xi asked.

"That's right, because the situation is not clear now, and from the clues we have at hand, it is difficult to judge whether Lin Xiao died of her murder, there are no traces of violence on her body, no drug ingredients have been detected in the blood, and the same characteristics as drowning have appeared in her respiratory tract and lungs. In other words, if Lin Xiao did not die by suicide, then the biggest possibility was that when Lin Xiao jumped into the sea, someone forced her or threatened her in some way, so that she had to choose suicide. ”

"But Lin Xiao is just a shopping guide, who will it benefit to force her to death?" Chen Xi couldn't help asking.

"According to the existing clues, no information has been found to answer your question, but one thing is certain, similar to Xu Ziqing's case, after Lin Xiao's suicide, her boyfriend also disappeared, even if it has been two years since this case, no matter how we look for it, we have not found any trace of him."

"Could it be Lin Xiao's boyfriend?" Chen Xi boldly put forward a hypothesis, but halfway through speaking, she stopped, this hypothesis, déjà vu, does have an indescribable similarity with Xu Ziqing's case. "If I'm not mistaken, before Lin Xiao died, was he also in a relationship with her boyfriend?"

"You guessed right, not only that, judging from Lin Xiao's diary, it was precisely because of her relationship with her boyfriend that she was disheartened and chose to commit suicide." Wei Zhongwen replied.

"Then why is Zhang Jingya's case in the morning also related to these two cases?"

"Looking at it now, I can only say that it is because these three diaries are from the same person."

"What does this mean? From whom? ”

Knowing that this explanation could not be understood by the other party, Tang Yuran took the initiative to open his mouth and said: "That's the case, I work in the research institute, for some reason, we have openly solicited this kind of text from the society, these three diaries are part of them, the three diaries are sent in two batches, the first batch is the two copies of Ziqing and Lin Xiao, which were sent about a week ago, and the second batch is Zhang Jingya's book, which was sent this morning." We have compared the three diaries from the same place. ”

"Is there any information about the address and the shipper?" Chen Xi asked eagerly, if the person who sent the diary was found, it means that useful clues can be found.

Hearing Chen Xi's question, the other two shook their heads in unison, this clue, Wei Zhongwen is not without it, but the situation is not ideal.

"We checked the sender, but it turned out that it was just a dropshipping point, and the other party did not know the situation of the entrusted sender, because it was not a dangerous item after inspection, and the other party did not pay much attention. But this is just what we're investigating, and with your help, I think we'll be able to find more leads. Wei Zhongwen said, the meaning of the words has been clearly expressed.

"I see, Captain." Chen Xi said, nodded, and then continued: "Judging from the current situation, the case is indeed very complicated, but I have to go back to the team to sort out the situation and communicate with them to see if the case can be combined for investigation." ”

"No problem."

Judging from the current situation, no matter who the person who sent the diary or what his purpose was, he was the one who was the closest to the truth at one time.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongwen's heart couldn't help but sink, the three girls left this world like this, no matter what the reason was, it was embarrassing.
